Wave I-II Family Structure Array

Nineteen constructed family structure array variables are available for Add Health respondents (Wave I or II) from birth to age at latest adolescent follow-up, with a maximum age of 18 years old. The family structure array variables can be used to construct measures such as the number of family structure changes experienced from birth to a given age (family instability), or the amount of time spent in different family structures.
